This tour offers a visit to the Pre Inca community of
Pikillacta and the colonial population of Andahuaylillas.
We will begin the tour with a pick up from your
hotel and transfer 30km south of the city to the
place known as Pikillacta, considered to be a Pre
Incan archaeological group. You can still see the
old narrow city streets as they have been conserved
surprisingly well.
En route to Andahuaylillas you can see the imposing
entrance of Rumicolca, which was before used as the
obligatory main entrance to the valley of the Cusco.
In the pueblo of Andahuaylillas, we will visit their
famous Church, which is considered to be like the
Sistine Chapel of South America. On the inside one
can see some of the most beautiful examples of the
colonial art with its golden altars and murals,
pictures and intricate ceilings.
During the drive, we will pass by the towns of San
Sebastián, San Jerónimo, Saylla and Oropesa,
traditional towns that are famous for their
delicious breads and fried pig.
On the way back to Cusco again we can eat a
delicious plate of typical chicharrones (fried pork)
from Saylla, which is well known for their
chicharrones (Optional).
